The ability of atoms to combine with other atoms is determined by?
The number of electrons of both atoms and its valence number.
What does all atoms are nuetral mean?
Atoms are electrically neutral if they have an equal number of protons and electrons. Atoms that have either a deficit or a surplus of electrons are called ions.
The chemical properties of an atom depend on the number of what?
It depends on the number of electrons in the outer valence shell in the atom
Is an atoms number of protons is always the same as its number of valence electrons?
For neutral atoms, the electron number is always the same as the proton number.For ions, charged atoms, the proton number is different than the electron number by the charge (e.g. a hydrogen ion, H(+1) has 1 proton and 0 electrons, 1 more proton than electrons).
Why do the properties of an ion differ from those of its parent ion?
Because they have gained or lost electrons and are no longer neutral.
How many atoms does electrons have?
Atoms have 1 to 118 electrons. For a neutral atom the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons (atomic number).
What is the number of electrons in atoms?
29 electrons
Compare the number of electrons of a negative ion to that of the neutral atom include both negative ion and neutral atom in your answer?
The total charge of atoms is equal to the number of positive protons balanced by the total number of negative electrons in a neutral atom which balances the number of electrons.
Arrange atoms from smallest to largest?
An atoms size is relative to the number of electrons an atom contains. Atoms with the least number of electrons are the smallest atoms. When atoms have the same number of electrons, the atom with the most protons will have the largest nuclear charge, and therefore be the smallest atom.
The ability of atoms to combine with other atoms is determined by?
The number of electrons of both atoms and its valence number.
Is most atoms have more electrons than proton?
No. Atoms have the same number of protons and electrons. When atoms gain or lose electrons they are called ions.
How many electrons that each atom have?
each of atoms have electrons that equql to atomic number of that of atoms
When atoms are at rest what do they have an equal number of?
protons and electrons protons and electrons
Atoms have the same number of?
Protons and electrons
Neutral atoms of the same element can differ in their number of what?
Neutrons. If the differ in electrons they are not neutral and if they differ in protons then they are no longer the same element as the number of protons determines the name of the element.
Is the number of electrons equal to the number of protons in the atoms?
Yes :-)
How is an atom's atomic number related to it's number of electrons?
For neutral atoms the atomic number is equal to the number of electrons.
